CHAPTER V.

"Well, said Isabel, eagerly, ''what doe,
Mr.. Hardyman say! Does he think he can
cure Tommie"
Moody answered little coldly and stiffiy.
His dark, deeply set eyes rested on Isabel
with an uneasy look
Mr., Hardyman seems TO understand ami.
mails" he said HE lifted the dogs eyelid
and looked at his eye and then he told us the
bath was useless"
60 on" said Isabel, impatiently. "He
did something l suppose, besides telling you
that the bath was useless"
''He took a knife out of his pocket with a
lancet in it.n
Isabel clasped her hands with faint cry
Of horror. ''Oh, Mr. Moody, did he hurt
Tommie?"
"Hurt HING Moody repeated, indignant at
the interest which she felt in the animal and
the indifference which she exhibited towards
the man las represented by HIMSELF. Hurt
him, indeed Mr.. Hardyman bled the
brute"
Brute" Isabel reiterated, with flashing
eyes. Il know some people, Mr. Moody,
who really deserve to be called by that horrid
word. If you can't say 'Tommie,' when you
speak of him in my presence, be so good as to
say the dog"
Moody yielded with the worst possible
grace. "Oh, very WE'LL Mr.. Hardyman
bled the dog and brought him TO his senses
directly. / am charged to tell you" He
stopped as if the message which he was in
structed to deliver was in the last degree
distasteful to him
well, what we're you charged to tell meP
81 was to say that Mr.. Hardyman will
give you instructions how 10 treat the dog
for the FUTURE
Isabel FASTENED to the door, eager to re-
ceive her instructions Moody stopped her
before she could open it.
"You are in great hurry to get to Mr..
Hardyman," he remarked.
Isabel looked back at him in surprise.
''You said just now that Mr.. Hardyman was
waiting to tell me how to nurse Tommie"
LET him watt" Moody rejoined, sternly.
when left him, he was sufficiently oc-
cupied in expressing his favorable opinion of
you to her ladyship"
The stewards rale face turned paler stiIl as
